In this solo episode of The Official STL Podcast, Eric Brown opens with a headline-grabbing news story and uses it as a springboard into a bigger conversation about where the country’s at right now — culturally, financially, and mentally.

Eric digs into the “the economy is fine” narrative and argues that it doesn’t match what everyday people are experiencing. He breaks down unemployment stats, why the headline number can be misleading, and how the gig economy (Uber/DoorDash-style work) can mask underemployment and people who’ve dropped out of the workforce entirely.

It’s blunt, opinionated, and meant to spark debate — if you’ve felt like the numbers don’t match reality, this episode will hit.

In this episode of The Official STL Podcast, Eric Brown breaks down some big news for St. Louis and why it ties into a much larger problem across the United States.

First, Eric dives into Waymo coming to St. Louis — what autonomous vehicles could mean for the city, how the rollout works, the safety record, the weird edge cases (like DDOS-style prank attacks on fleets), and whether we should actually trust driverless cars on icy Midwestern roads.

Eric wraps by talking about what this means for regular people: rising costs, stagnant wages, the generational wealth gap, and a future that doesn’t look as bright as it was sold — especially for younger people trying to build a life in systems that are already maxed out.

If you live in St. Louis, the suburbs, or any American metro that feels “off” lately, this episode will hit hard.
